Ask HN: How can I make money when I am bored?
I am bored now. I am looking for work to do. I already have a full-time job but sometimes I want to do something different and make money. I don't want a regular part-time job. I don't want to waste my time by searching for freelance jobs. Is there a way?

One option - learn a trade. When I get really bored I take on painting and decorating jobs. I have a friend who is a mechanical engineer who does plumbing on the side.

One idea: Start a mailing list about a topic that you know and that other people want to learn. Write to them once a week with a valuable piece of information. Once you hit 200 subscribers write an ebook that summarizes everything you say in your letters in one place.
